Mood Support Clinic

Emotional & Mood Support

Is your child struggling with worry, sadness, or overwhelming thoughts?

You’re not imagining it.

Anxiety, depression, and OCD can impact children and teens just as deeply as they do adults—but often look very different. It might show up as irritability, stomachaches, refusal to go to school, or constant “what if” worries.

Many families aren’t sure what’s typical, what’s not, or how to help.

That’s why the Mood Support Clinic exists—to offer clarity, calm, and a care plan that actually fits your child’s life.

Whether you’re here for the first time or have tried other paths that didn’t stick—we’ll meet you where you are, and walk with you from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

My child is often anxious, but has never been diagnosed. Can you help?

Yes. Our evaluation process can help determine whether anxiety, depression, or OCD symptoms are present and whether further support is needed.

Do you work with teens?

Yes. We support children and teens from early school age through adolescence.

Does my child need to see a therapist too?

Sometimes. We help assess whether therapy would be a helpful part of your child’s plan and refer to trusted providers if needed.

Do you prescribe medication?

When appropriate, yes. But we always consider it carefully and in the context of other supports like sleep, nutrition, school accommodations, and therapy.

Will my child be involved in the plan?

Absolutely. We tailor conversations and strategies based on age and readiness—so kids and teens feel supported, not sidelined.

What if I’m not sure what my child is feeling?

That’s okay. Many kids can’t name what’s going on. We help figure it out together through both parent and child input.

Yes. We screen for OCD and offer treatment planning, referrals, and medication support when indicated.
